It's good to be king and queen.

I agree, but it's hard to tell who's king and who's queen in this operation.

One last fling before our AMEX gets declined?

Also, don't be distracted by the Vera Baker thing, these continuing separate vacations are the real story of the Obama marriage. The bi-sexual gloss that produced Sasha and Malia is starting to wear off, and the frayed edges are ever more in evidence. It's going to be a gritty but entertaining winter.

This White House is an odd shaped can of worms.

As several people have noted already -- why the objections?

Ten rooms? The guy could rent all of Malaga for a week, and not spend a hundredth of what he does with one signature at home.

The more vacations the better. In fact, we should start an Internet competition for where he goes on the next one. Thailand?

Barack is not going on the trip with wife and daughter, so Drudge's headlines are somewhat misleading. Barack is staying in Washington.

Not that he's going to do any actual, you know, work, though.

Which, when you think about it, is a good thing. The more golf Obama plays the better off the country is.

Hey, the more time he spends on vacation or on the golf course, the less time he has to f**k up our lives. Party on, Barry!

Somewhere, Marie Antoinette's head is looking on admiringly.

"skin in the game" all over the world......

It's hard to respect someone who's never had a real job in their life.
Goes for his wife, too.

Nancy & Michelle!! Observe......

Could this be defined as acting "N-word rich?"
(just asking)

It's legitimate to question Obama's vacation time (God knows we heard enough about Bush's), but I think people should leave his children out of it. Going after Obama's kids is just as bad as going after Palin's.

Tom, to that extent I'm with you. Look at the role models those kids have: What are the chances they will ever amount to anything, any more than the poorest kid in the worst slum in Manila?

They'll have the best life that the spoils of affirmative action at the top of the racket pyramid can provide. They may have self esteem issues and spiritual emptiness but they won't want for anything.

You have to admire the intensity with which this entire family avoids work. Amazing role models one and all when you think about it, aren't they?

Actually, yes. The way he's dismantling the free enterprise system, more and more Americans will have lots of free time on their hands. Of course, they won't be able to afford to take vacations all over the world, but hey, you can't have everything.
